The newest huge cinematic name Netflix has taken under their wing — for a huge cinematic price — is South Korean director Bong Joon Ho. The company has, as The Hollywood Reporter announced today, made a $50 million dollar deal to find the Snowpiercer/The Host director’s latest project.

The film is called Okja — and it seems it will be an even bigger production than Snowpiercer (the amount of money Netflix alone is investing in the film surpasses Snowpiercer‘s budget by 8 million). In a statement, the director said:

For Okja, I needed a bigger budget than I had for Snowpiercer and also complete creative freedom. Netflix offered me the two conditions that are difficult to have in hand simultaneously.

Allegedly, Plan B Entertainment — Brad Pitt’s company — is co-producing, which may indicate that Pitt is getting along swimmingly with Netflix after his own $60 dollar win from Netflix for the satirical war epic, War Machine.

According to The Wrap, Okja centers around the relationship between a “monster who has a kind spirit” and who shares a name with the title, and a young girl, who has not yet been cast. However, supporting roles have already been filled, and Tilda Swinton, Jake Gyllenhaal, Paul Dano and Bill Nighy, have already joined the project — with production beginning in 2016 in both South Korea and NYC, and release planned for 2017.
